Can have the crown fitted at a later date after the RCT

Q. Hello i am having root canal on my first molar, i am paying £350.00 for a 70minute apaointment, i know i may need a crown fitted also on that tooth, I was wanting to know it i can have the crown fitted at a later date after the rct, as i cant afford to pay for both on one day? would it be okay to wait to have a crown fitted after my root canal treatment?

A. In most cases you can wait up to 12 months. in some cases I deliberately wait to check the RCT has worked. Rob
